- senectus1 8y agothats not true. there are several communities that exists happily within it and are sad to see this service go. because there isn't much of an alternative out there.
- PedroBatista 8y agoFunny how Google tends to end services we like almost overnight but this Google+ piece of crap still lingers.
- magduf 8y agoAs usual, don't rely on any Google service to stick around long-term unless it's search, GMail, or Maps. They'll probably shut down Google Translate any day now...
- towaway1138 8y agoThey should shut down Google+ for internal use as well. Looking at some of the leaks of that traffic that have come out, it's clearly having a pretty toxic effect on their professional culture.
- Chunkyated 8y agoI don't know how to replace Google+, I use it as a personal social network for my family. We share stuff only in our circles. Is there something out there that could replace it?
